Source
The Alarm source that should be controlled.
Activation
Start, Stop or Toggle the Alarm.
Destination
Zones in which the Alarm will be broadcast. Alarm broadcasts usually go to all zones. This field can be left blank if access panel keys are used for zone selection.
Priority
In this example for General Alarm, the priority should be set high, with only Emergency PA as a higher priority in the system. The highest priority is 1 and the lowest is 100.
Organizing Alarms
Alarms can be organized and renamed using Exigo Management Tool (EMT).
Renaming Alarms
For easy identification of an alarm they can be renamed to a more logical name.
Renaming Alarms:
- In System > Alarms:
- Select the Alarm you want to rename.
- Type in a new name in the Name field and press Done.
It is also possible to add or delete alarms in the system.
- Press the Add or Delete button (top right in Local Mutes) to add or delete an alarm.
Advanced options
- Check the Use Default Parameters box to use default values for the parameters
- Check the Override pre-selected Zones box to use dynamic destinations. This will also override static destination list if defined.
On Busy
When one or more destination zones are busy with higher priority broadcasts, the following options are available:
- Reject - Reject the broadcast
- Go Partial - Run the broadcast now on free zones
- Queue - Put the broadcast in queue and run when all zones are free
- Split Queue - If the source is a stored message, queue the broadcast per zone
If no value is chosen, a default value is used.
- For input actions Program Activation, Message, the default value is Go Partial.
- For input action Live Speech, the default value is Reject.
On Interrupt
When a broadcast is interrupted by a higher priority broadcast, the following options are available:
- Cancel - Cancel the broadcast
- Mute - Mute the broadcast in interrupted zones while a higher priority broadcast is running
- For input actions such as Program Activation, Message, Live Speech, the default value is Mute.
